I've recently discovered that our X-terminals and our Sun support a network
service called "link" (or ttylink).  It uses port #87, you should be able to
check /etc/services to see if the entry is on your system.

Here's my question:

I don't know, and haven't been able to find *any* information on how this is
supposed to be used.  I can telnet into the X-Terminal and throw bytes out of
its' serial port, but I just have this sneaking suspicion that there's more
to it than that.

Anyone ever work with this before ?

p.s. Please respond by e-mail as I do not regularly follow this group.
